    What Can I Watch On My Antenna?

    Nielsen released its viewership summary for 2019. Turns out the most popular shows and broadcast events are available for free with a properly installed outdoor / attic antenna.  Don’t believe it?  Check out the Nielsen Tops of 2019.

    Here are the most watched broadcasts in 2019 in the US:

    The only thing in this list you cannot watch on the antenna is the College National Championship on ESPN.

    And here are the most watched regularly scheduled programs in the US

    9THIS IS USNBC4.112,421
    9FBICBS4.112,421

    In this list, the only thing not available on the antenna is Game of Thrones on HBO and NFL Monday Night Football on ESPN.

    Keep in mind, that cord cutters can get every single show on here for way less than cable by combining antenna and two streaming services (HBO NOW and Sling).
